In one of its clause the document showed that the territory where the Mission Seven People was indigenous villages leaded by European Jesuits connected with the Spanish crown, should pass to Portuguese domain. There was a revolt by the indians. So, in that region it happened a massacre of a very large number of indians by the Europeans. Basílio da Gama "portrayed" this episode though the poem entitled O Uraguay, valorizing the american territory, and the new continent's native, the indian. Surpassing the introduction about the natives and the american land to Europeans, Basílio started the use of concepts that marked the posterior period the americanism and the indianism. The present work does a semiotics analysis in the poem, using the triad of Charles Peirce, which shows an interpretative argument through the study of work fragments. It's taken into consideration all the context politics-cultural of the period that the poet lived, mainly the group formed by Pombal, the sponsor art, known as "mecenato pombalino", which from middle of others poets, we can detach the arcade Basílio da Gama.
